Windscreen washers

Hi Guys,
I have had a problem with only one of the washer jets working, so today after it stopped raining I decided to have a look.
What is the T piece in the line supposed to do. Yeah I know it splits the water to both washers, but I'm sure it does more than that. Mine squrts water out of 2 holes in the T piece rather the directly to the washer jets. I'm guessing this shouldn't happen and the T piece is F***ed!
Any thoughts?? Can it be repaired or do I need a new one??
Cheers
Jack

They are one way valves available from BMW. Mine died and did the same, can't remember how much they were.

Or about half that from BMW, IIRC.
Check with the zone's genuine parts forum.
